Jerko Jukić specializes in VW and Audi performance at his company in Croatia. One of his recent projects is a Volkswagen Golf Mk8 with an upgraded powertrain. Jerko swapped a turbocharged 2.5 L TFSI inline-five and DQ500 seven-speed automatic transmission from an Audi RS3 (8Y). The inline-five was tune by Unitronic for flex fuel. It makes 520 hp (387 kW) on gasoline and 630 hp (463 kW) on ethanol fuel. Other upgrades include KW V4 Clubsport adjustable coilovers, H&R roll bars, and Audi RS3 six-piston brakes.
